Specication describing a certain Improved Press, inveutediby JEREMIAHRANDOLPH, of Huntsville, in the county of .Walker and State of Texas. Y

My invention consists in a novel arrangement of levers, connecting-bars,and cords, in combination with the follower and windlass, whereby thefollower is worked in the downward direction for pressing, and in theopposite direction for elevating it to recharge the press, by the saidwindlass.

Figure l is a side elevation of the improved press, .and Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section of the same, the section being taken lon the line 'yy of Fig. 1. l,

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. g

A is a vertical press-case; B, the follower;

- and O, the frame supporting the whole appaleys, N, in the bed-frame ofthe machine 5 thence vraising the follower.

up through the levers I, being made fast to them 5 thence over pulleysP, from which theyr hang down to be engaged with the drums for The endsof the parts Q of the ropes so hanging down are provided with loops, tobe readily connected or disconnectedi'rorn the drums, which isnecessary, because it takes longer ropes to draw the follower downv thanit does to raise it, owing to their passing under the pulleys N, therebyrequiring the parts Q to be detached when the follower has been forceddown to allow the drums to be turned for unwinding the parts which drawthe follower'down before the other parts begin to wind up. The long pinsT are for holding the drums in any position when woundup.

In this case I have represented the drums as being turned by cranks; butthey maybe geared to a line-shaft running under the press, to be turnedby horse or other power.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent-
